It may sound strange but the reality is that anyone who believes in Jesus as their Savior is called to suffer for him. And the comfort we have is we don't have to suffer alone. God has given us each other to be able to support one another through our trials and persecutions.
Depending on our circumstances we can either view ourselves as a victim or a victor. In this message we explore our ultimate purpose for this life and when we remember what that is, no matter the circumstances, we can always have a victor mentality.
Divisiveness is like a plague and in order for us to maintain unity within our relationships and within the church, we first of all need to understand who we are in relation to Jesus Christ. And when we have a good grasp of that, it helps us view each other through the lens of thanksgiving.
Sometimes we convince ourselves that Easter is a once-a-year event and nothing more. But it is so much more. It's a reminder that we get to live in the resurrection power of Jesus Christ every single day of our lives!
